    Time Factors Closed

    until Oct 16.

    Last time I decided I really needed an Everest they had just gone out of stock. Today I tried to buy one only to find the site closed for two weeks.

    What could it mean?

    I finally decided between the Speedbird 3 and the Everest on Friday night after weeks of "thinking", only to get this message!

    It's nice to know that its not just me that the world has it in for :)

    I used to be able to take care of admin along with my normal work but business has increased to the point I have to close for a week or two to deal with all the accumulated paperwork :-(.

    Don't worry about such trivial things like paperwork, spend the next two weeks on the DN GMT

    That's a pity. I was rather hoping that you needed the time to check through a large influx of new watches!

    There are not many businesses that can say the same I guess.
    Increased business must be worth a bit more paperwork?

    Like Apple, Eddie pulls his store moments before a big product announcement.

    I am expecting the SBIV, like the III but with GMT, Power Reserve, Chronograph, Moon Phase and Annual Calendar.

    Quite glad I ordered those straps last week now. Would've riled me to go and buy an inferior product elsewhere.

    Come on fellas, cut the guy some slack! After all he is the man who is bringing some rather nice goodies to the party ( ok at some time as yet undecided ) in future.

    Ok. that is it. My best attempt to brownnose my way up any waiting lists (that may or may not exist) for said future goodies. Not a very good attempt I admit, but the sentiment remains.

    Please, no.

    Anyway, if it's like an Apple announcement you won't get half of what you were expecting.

    I would have thought that getting something undone is more likely to cause delay.

    I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped today due to an impromptu training session.

    Well, we had to cover the theory first so it included instructional videos and then we moved to letting her try it by herself.

    The price of success. But I am sure it is worth it.
